We also discussed how we want our Any Book Book Clubs to look and decided if we were going to be reading fiction or non-fiction. We even took some time to begin narrative writing by discussing seeds and small moments as well as writing down or drawing seeds that we have. We switched for science and math (scmath as we are calling it) and continued our work in our respective classrooms. 4th graders took their unit 1 post test today. After lunch and recess, we walked over and took some pictures around the Hilliard Tharp sign since a lot of us were wearing our shirts today.
